CUNNINGHAM's REPORT.

The property comprises two mines, called
the Ellen Jane and the Tommanotta respec-
lively.
The company has developed both these mines
as follows A shaft having been sunk to the
depth of 6S feet on the Tommanotta, and one
TO The depth OF 1872 feet on the Ellen Jane. with
levels running parallel with the vein so feet
below the surface aud on the vein northeast
and southwest The properties are very dat
tering, as will be seen by The reports of experts
and assays There Is now no doubt that this
will be a lirst-olass paying property.
The Ellen Jane Is situated on the southeast
extremity of the Music Mountain range, di-
mensions geo feet In width by 1900 feet in
length has one shaft 1872 feet deep and sew
eral open cuts, all OF which show pay ore, The
Tommanotta Is an extension OF the Ellen
Jane.
This mine has also been partially developed
by a shaft 60 feet aud several of lesser depths,
also open cuts, all showing pay ore. The
veins ON both properties crop bold and strong,
and there is no reason TO doubt that very
large and rich ore body lays not far beneath
the depth now reached, which is also the
opinion OF the best experts and miners who
have been on the property.
Water has been the great drawback TO the
developing of mines In this range, but that has
now been set at rest, as water was found In the
Ellen Jane shan at the depth of 100 feet. and
growing stronger as depth 10 obtained, aud in
short time sinking pump will be required
to keep the mine free.
The ore has continued 10 the bottom Of shaft,
increasing in width and richness.
In conclusion, would state that these veins
are true flssuTes, and have no doubt the best
mineral belt in Arizona,
